The railings of the toll gate at the entrance of the expressway in Xinghua City have long been gone and the booth is also a mess. A pile of change is scattered on the floor, but there weren’t any large bills around.
Hao Jian picked up all the coins that she didn’t even let the fifty-cent coin go.
“. . .” Lian Ru Ning looked at her, “Are you. . . so short of money?”
“Not at the moment, but I always feel that I’m a good citizen, so how can I not pick them up if ai see so much money? If I let them be blown by wind and rain, or sun and rain that they finally get damaged or lost, it will cause national financial losses!”
“The dead would come to life by your tawdry words.” Lian Ru Ning belly-laughed.
“Is there really no need to find them?” Lian Ru Ning looked out in the distance again.
When she and Hao Jian first came, they had cleaned up the surrounding zombies. She then confirmed through their intercom that Peng Mao and the others were safe, but because Peng Mao was in a hurry to avoid the zombies, he didn’t know where to drive the car. They were now trying to convince Shi Gong Dui to find a way to obtain a map.
“If they can’t find their way, let’s go our separate ways!” Hao Jian wouldn’t stop her pace simply because she got separated from her partner.
“You don’t worry about them.” Lian Ru Ning sighed and took the binoculars to look around. Aside from the zombies that had slightly gathered again, there weren’t any cars around.
“Shi Gong Dui is here.” Hao Jian put all the change in her pocket, took out her spicy noodles from her backpack, and ate slowly.
Lian Ru Ning was stimulated by the smell of the spicy noodles. Although she rarely eats this type of junk food, her sister Lian Ru Meng said that life isn’t complete without eating spicy food, so she also ate some.
The taste of the spicy strips was unique and unforgettable. Although she usually restrains from touching it, she now couldn’t help but stare at the spicy noodles in Hao Jian’s hands. Lian Ru Ning’s taste buds were screaming.
Hao Jian bit into a spicy strip, raised her eyes to look at Lian Ru Ning then pointed at the other end of the strip, “Little sister also wants to try a taste?”
“!!!” Lian Ru Ning gritted her teeth as she saw the slyness in Hao Jian’s eyes. She knew that Hao Jian was definitely teasing her.
Feeling that she was being teased too much, she had become numb and a little exasperated, so she impulsively went over and bit the other end of the spicy strip.
The unique spicy taste of the strip instantly stimulated her tongue, and soon, she couldn’t resist the urge to swallow it in one bite.
However, she quickly realized what she had done after swallowing a mouthful of saliva. . . Although her lips were still two or three centimeters away from Hao Jian’s lips, it was as if she could hear the other’s heartbeats.
Feeling each other’s breaths, the two didn’t move, as if it was a competition and the one who moved first would lose.
At this moment, the tips of their noses suddenly touched and Hao Jian simply bit off her section of spicy strips. She chewed for a while before pointing to the bag of spicy strips, “I didn’t expect that little sister likes to play this. Although I actually meant for the remaining spicy strips, but. . . since little sister likes to play like this, shall we continue?”
Lian Ru Ning didn’t know whether to swallow or spit the remaining spicy strips.
In the end, she also bit off the remaining half in her mouth and threw away the rest.
“I don’t!” She regretted that she seemed to have lost her mind just now, otherwise why would she have done such a thing?!
“Don’t restrain yourself, I know you like it, little sister!” Hao Jian whispered to Lian Ru Ning’s ears like the devil.
However, Lian Ru Ning was kept sane by the spicy strip and looked down at the strip handed by Hao Jian. If she wasn’t paying attention even a little, she would look like she’s taking the initiative again from Hao Jian’s perspective!
“No need.” Lian Ru Ning looked away to dodge.
Hao Jian smiled and reached out to wipe off the grease stains at the corner of Lian Ru Ning’s mouth for her.
Hao Jian’s fingertips still lingered on the corner of her lips that Lian Ru Ning almost lost control of her emotions that were about to overflow. Luckily, Xin Ting’s voice came from the intercom that Lian Ru Ning was startled and stumbled while picking up the intercom to show Xin Ting the way.
Hao Jian withdrew her hand that was hanging in the air and smiled. She then took her machete to solve the zombies near the toll booth.

When Peng Mao drove the car to the toll booth, his body was drenched in sweat. As soon as he stepped out of the car, Shi Gong Dui immediately followed while cursing, “From now on, I will never get in the car with you! You drive absent-mindedly that you kept missing the way even if I’ve been giving you directions! I almost died because of your mistake!”
Peng Mao didn’t refute this time and mumbled with a clear lack of confidence, “I don’t have a stomach for zombies, I’m not Hao Jian. I can’t do two things at once. Moreover, there’s no glass in the driver’s seat and when the zombies got caught on the iron net, I also got scared that we would drive off the road!”
“What is there to be afraid of? You grew so big yet it’s all for show?”
Shi Gong Dui spoke the truth.
“Are you all, all right?” Lian Ru Ning asked with some concern.
“Yes, it’s just a little extended road trip. None of us got in contact with the zombies.” Xin Ting immediately responded.
Hao Jian checked the surroundings of the car and said, “Some of the iron mesh is loose, but now isn’t a good time for repairs. Let’s get off the road first! Let’s find a good place to stay before it gets dark.”
Shi Gong Dui sat on the driver’s seat first, “I’ll drive instead!”
Peng Mao knew he was in the wrong and silently sat in the back seat, letting Xin Ting sit in the passenger’s seat. He was worried he wouldn’t be able to help himself but argue with Shi Gong Dui along the way.
Hao Jian and Lian Ru Ning naturally took the motorcycle. The bike still had some gas and it’s more convenient to use on congested roads. It’s unlikely for them to give up the motorcycle and go back to the car.
It was their first time on the expressway after so many days. Although many sections have caused congestion, they have been cleared out and made a passable road. It wasn’t big, but it was wide enough for a medium bus to pass.
It wasn’t like the highway had no zombies, but most of them were trapped in the cars while some left the road because of foraging and scattered. Therefore, when hao Jian and the others passed by, they didn’t face the trouble of being surrounded by zombies.
After driving for more than half an hour, they could see a rest stop, but Hao Jian and the others were wary to enter because the stop was still too close to Xinghua City.
Peng Mao asked about the reason and Lian Ru Ning replied, “This is too close to Xinghua City, many people will choose to come here to look for food or use it as a refuge base when they escape, so the danger level here should be around 7.”
“Danger level?”
“Yes, in order for us to better understand and define the degree of danger in a place, Xin Ting and I have created ten levels. The lower the danger level, the safer it is.”
“That’s brilliant! Classmate Lian is really worthy of being the intellectual person of the team.” Shi Gong Dui laughed.
“. . . Why do I feel that you’re being sarcastic?” Xin Ting asked.
“. . .”
Peng Mao couldn’t help but snicker. Shi Gong Dui’s skills are good, but his emotional intelligence is too low. With Shi Gong Dui as a ‘companion’, he wouldn’t be too lonely.

The usual expressway has a rest stop every 50 kilometers, but areas with hilly terrain like Xinghua and Chengxiang, mountainous areas, and those with underdeveloped roads have fewer rest stops.
Lian Ru Ning searched along the highway on the map and only found two; one was near the rest stop of Xinghua City while the other was dozens of kilometers away from Xiaochuan county in Chengxiang. From there, one still has to walk for more than an hour.
Fortunately, the motorcycle still has enough fuel to get them there.
They also encountered a lot of zombies along the way, but Shi Gong Dui drove the car and ran over a lot of zombies in front of them. It also avoided Hao Jian the trouble to step off the bike and deal with the zombies first.
It wasn’t until four o’clock in the afternoon that they saw the rest stop sign.
As always, Hao Jian stopped first to observe. Now that they have some binoculars, they didn’t need to get closer to observe with the naked eye again.
“There are fewer vehicles and the number of zombies visible is less than ten. We can predict that there’s no one in this rest stop.” After Hao Jian arrived at such a conclusion, she gave the binoculars to Lian Ru Ning.
“There’s no one inside, which means there are no supplies and there may be other zombies in the places we can’t see.” Lian Ru Ning added.
“If there are no supplies, should we go there?” Peng Mao asked.
“I’ll respect your choice.” Hao Jian also didn’t reply positively.
“There’s still more than fifty kilometers to go before we reach Xiaochuan County and we don’t know what kind of situation is there, so if we encounter something like ‘Wugui’ members blocking the road, I’m afraid that it wouldn’t be worth the loss. But if we can solve the zombies here, we wouldn’t need to find another place to spend the night. After all, this place is surrounded by deserted countryside.” Lian Ru Ning assessed.
“If the zombies here can be cleaned up, I would rather stay here overnight.” Shi Gong Dui raised his hand.
“I, I think so too.” Xin Ting hesitated a little,
“Alright, if there’s a lot of zombies, then we’ll immediately leave!” Peng Mao declared.
Everyone had already expressed their stance, so Hao Jian wasted no more time. They parked their vehicles seven to eight hundred meters away and then instructed Shi Gong Dui to honk the horn aggressively to see if more zombies would appear in the rest stop.
The nearest zombie came over as soon as it heard the commotion but it was swiftly taken care of by Hao Jian and Lian Ru Ning. The remaining zombies were then solved by them one by one just like ‘Huludao saves Grandpa’.1
After Shi Gong Dui honked the horn, a dozen more zombies came out one after another. These numbers are a bit difficult for them to solve so Shi Gong Dui drove the car and crashed through them, solving the first half while the rest were taken care of by Hao Jian.
Peng Mao was now someone who could solve zombies alone. When he killed two zombies, he couldn’t help but boast and turn around, only to see Xin Ting crying.
With the ax in her hand, tears ran down her eyes while she hacked the head of the already immobile zombie.
“What’s wrong with you?” Peng Mao asked hurriedly, “Could it be that you were bitten?”
Xin Ting wiped her tears, “I’m afraid. . .”
“. . .” Okay, you win.
However, although Xin Ting was frightened and cried, the strength in her hand did not decrease at all. Peng Mao saw that a weak woman could kill a zombie alone and immediately lost the thought of boasting his kills. He honestly then went to help Hao Jian and Lian Ru Ning in resolving the crisis around them.
Shi Gong Dui drove the car and repeatedly ran over the zombies on the ground. He then turned to them and shouted, “I said give me a weapon next time! I’m so useless like this, ah!”
“Aren’t you a technical person, why do you need a weapon?” Peng Mao retorted.
“I can at least be more useful than you handling weapons!” Shi Gong Dui argued.
The reason they can still be in the mood to bicker is naturally that they managed to clean up so many zombies that there wasn’t much left when they entered the rest stop.
Now that they found a good place to rest for tonight, their mood is a little relaxed compared to before.
